Acala 3GP Movies Free is a professional video program used to convert various file formats to 3GP, the primary format used for mobile devices. The program can convert from avi, DivX, vob, Xvid, mpeg and many other popular video formats. Its professional interface is appealing and easy to use, making it a breeze to figure out even just moments after opening the program for the first time.

While the developer claims the program can convert a full-length two-hour movie to 3GP in about ten minutes, that is a bit of an exaggeration. That being said, it is one of the fastest video converters available, especially for 3GP conversion. It also does not slow down your computer much, so you can still run other programs while waiting on your video file conversions.

There is a great deal of control over the actual video being converted. You can set start and end points for video capture, like in video editing software, which allows you to convert only a certain section of the video to 3GP from its initial format. This lets you remove annoying titles or capture a specific clip for later playback on your mobile device.

Acala supports batch conversions as well, making it extremely easy to convert large groups of files. You can even preview the results during the conversion. This lets you check on the quality before you've spent half an hour converting dozens of files. You can also set your computer to shut down once the files are finished converting. If you have a lot of files to convert, you can queue them up in the program and go to bed or to work, and your computer will automatically shut off when it has finished converting everything.

Beyond just converting video to video, you can also use Acala 3GP Movies Free to rip audio tracks from videos. Just like with the video converter, you can convert the entire file or select a specific section of the video clip and rip only the audio from the chosen selection. This is especially useful for creating your own ringtones from video files. If you have ever wanted to turn that silly movie quote into a personalized ringtone for your best friend, this program makes it incredibly easy to do it.

It is tough to find a tool that can cut, splice and convert files in a hurry, but Acala 3GP Movies Free is the best option out there. Compared to other programs, there is no doubt this is the best of the bunch.
